         2 . The accessory for an aerosol generating device of  claim 1 , wherein the first end portion includes a first inclined surface forming a first angle with a longitudinal direction of the body, and the second end portion includes a second inclined surface forming a second angle with the longitudinal direction of the body. 
     
     
         3 . The accessory for an aerosol generating device of  claim 2 , wherein the first angle is about 10° to about 50°. 
     
     
         4 . The accessory for an aerosol generating device of  claim 3 , wherein the second angle is about 30° to about 40°. 
     
     
         5 . The accessory for an aerosol generating device of  claim 1 , wherein the second end portion is spaced apart from the first end portion by a predefined distance in the longitudinal direction of the body to accommodate the aerosol generating article between the first end portion and the second end portion. 
     
     
         6 . The accessory for an aerosol generating device of  claim 5 , wherein the predefined distance is about 1 mm to about 1.6 mm. 
     
     
         7 . The accessory for an aerosol generating device of  claim 1 , further comprising a second remover arranged on the other side of the body located in an opposite direction to the one side, and removing the aerosol generating article remaining in the accommodation space. 
     
     
         8 . The accessory for an aerosol generating device of  claim 7 , wherein the second remover has a hook shape capable of being hooked on at least one region of the aerosol generating article remaining in the accommodation space. 
     
     
         9 . The accessory for an aerosol generating device of  claim 1 , wherein the guide unit protrudes from an outer circumferential surface of the body, and includes at least one rib to guide movement of the accessory for an aerosol generating device when the accessory for an aerosol generating device is inserted into the accommodation space. 
     
     
         10 . The accessory for an aerosol generating device of  claim 1 , wherein the guide unit has a diameter of about 7 mm to about 8 mm. 
     
     
         11 . The accessory for an aerosol generating device of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one protrusion extending from one region of the guide unit toward the first remover. 
     
     
         12 . The accessory for an aerosol generating device of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one protrusion pressurizes the aerosol generating article within the accommodation space in a direction toward the first remover when the accessory for an aerosol generating device is inserted into the accommodation space. 
     
     
         13 . An aerosol generating system comprising:
 an aerosol generating device including an accommodation space having an aerosol generating article accommodated therein, and a heater to heat the aerosol generating article accommodated in the accommodation space; and   an accessory for an aerosol generating device, removing an aerosol generating article remaining in the accommodation space,   wherein the accessory for an aerosol generating device includes: a body; a guide unit arranged to surround at least a portion of an outer circumferential surface of the body; and a first remover comprising a first end portion arranged to surround at least one region of one side of the body and inserted into the aerosol generating article remaining in the accommodation space, and a second end portion arranged in one region of the body spaced apart from the first end portion and supporting at least a portion of the aerosol generating article.   
     
     
         14 . The aerosol generating system of  claim 13 , wherein the accommodation space includes a guide groove formed in a shape corresponding to an outer circumferential surface of the guide unit. 
     
     
         15 . The aerosol generating system of  claim 13 , wherein the guide unit is spaced apart from an inner surface of the accommodation space by about 0.1 mm to about 0.2 mm when the accessory for an aerosol generating device is inserted into the accommodation space.
